Rod shifters / suicide shifters come in different variations, & just as i was curious about them in the past, I am sure there are some out there who wish to see up close how they work to shift the chains rather than just reading or hearing about them by better understanding how they work mechanically
Here are some examples from my spares on a mockup :
- Cam actuated long lever British Cyclo Benelux twist lever
- Cam actuated Huret (push pull)
- Swivel (pivot swing action) & Cam (push/pull) actuated examples of Simplex
- Cam actuated French Cyclo (push/pull actuated)
